Hmmm, the plot thickens... :) By seperate, I mean on a diffrent harddrive, but within the same computer, ie, not NFS. Maybe filesystem was the wrong term. Permissions: most files on /acu are owned by root, in particular the snort directory. sudo: I am sudo'ing to root, so I do have the necessary permissions to access any files I should need to. file structure: /acu/var/ |-bin/ | |-snort (binary) |-etc/ | |-rules/ | | |-(all the *.rules files) | |-snort.conf | |-classification.config |-include/ |-log/ |-man/ So, when I compiled snort, I gave configure the --prefix=/acu/var flag, because I wanted to locate all the snort-related files in this one directory. I want to have snort log to /acu/var/log instead of /var/log. Eventually I would like to chroot the program to the /acu/var direcroty totally, but that is a diffrent can of worms. Again, I know there are other work arounds to this problem: sym-link the directory, or a sh script with all the necessary command line options, but I would like to take care of this problem using the configuration file, because it is a "cleaner" solution. That's where I am. My appologies if my previous posts were less than clear :/.
